Stayed here for two weeks in January. It was really great! In Lad Phrao you don’t really see too much tourists so it feels kind of nice to live around the locals. Evan is a great host and is very fast at replying. I once locked myself out of the room and he helped me get in contact with the landlord. Surprisingly he speaks Thai. Just remember you do have to pay electricity at the end of your stay which I totally didn’t know about when I first booked but it wasn’t that bad only had to pay 15$ or so. Keep in mind you do have to clean at the end of your trip which both are part of the agreement. I was gone and out of town most the time. There is 7-Eleven across the street but with traffic being so crazy i had to walk all the around to the skywalk on the left in the intersection. But I’d recommend shopping at Gourmet Supermarket which is underground at the MRT station to the left which is a great place to shop. The MRT being so close was a plus since I was able to travel around Bangkok easily. It’s a little bit far out from all the touristy stuff but the MRT is very cheap. Bangkok it self is very big. Overall I had a pleasant stay and will definitely come back here in the future.
